JANUARY EVENT LOG
00:00 01/01
✽ At the stoke of midnight, something shatters on the ground floor in front of the bulletin board, and the entire school goes dark: all electricity gets shut off, all flames are snuffed out, and the sky is heavily overcast to hide the moon and the stars. The only source of light are the suncatchers purchased from the student store, but even those fully charged will start to dim and go out over the next three days.
✽ Nene, Hinata, Noah, Amami, and Komaeda will smell something burning, and if they pull out their PDAs, it is hot to the touch and the casing is cracked, like something had blown from the inside, and their PDAs will not be working. For everybody else, the screen flickers when they press their thumb to their PDAs, and then goes dark again. ...
✽ If anybody was inside the main school building at midnight, I am so sorry, and for everybody else who enters the building afterwards, please watch your step. The appearance and atmosphere of the school has changed to that of the "void school" and can not be reverted upon breaking a mirror. Please refer to the aforementioned link for details about the school.
✽ As of midnight, no npcs can be found inside the school, including the library ghost, the gardener, and the cats. If a character were near an npc at midnight, it would appear as if they'd disappeared into the shadows the moment the world went dark.

✽ 01/10 marks the beginning of the final semester, and when npc students and faculty will return to school. Of the ~260 npc students enrolled at the start of December, only ~40 npc students return to school, with the other three quarters having their names crossed off the class roster in the locker area. In light of the rapidly shrinking student body, homerooms will be consolidated by year, creating a single class for each of the first, second, and third years.
✽ The countdown in front of the bulletin board has reached zero, and the glass tube appears to have shattered and bled out onto the floor, to nobody's surprise. The mess will be cleaned up by the end of the week, and in its place is a notice for the school trip taking place next month. Please see the toplevel below for more details.
✽ The science lab is now open. Add will probably elbow people out of the way getting here, but he gets dibs on the anatomical model: it is warm to the touch, and rather than being made of plastic, the skin, muscle, bones, other organs feel very much real. He thinks they might be. The rest of the room is set up like a typical research lab, with all the basic chemicals and equipment: a refrigerator, liquid nitrogen storage tank, sonicator, incubator, autoclave, laminar flow cabinet, mass spectrometer, and a high performance liquid chromatography system.
✽ It snows on and off and the sky remains overcast with no sign of the sun all month.

OOC
✽ Please give the temporary locations page a thorough read! The most noticeable changes aside from the usual void school appearance is the scattered void, lack of electricity in both the school and the dorm, and the ability to walk off campus. The setting will remain as is until the characters figure out how to revert the change, or on 01/10, whichever comes first.
✽ PDAs will be inoperable until fixed. Tech-savvy characters may realize that the PDAs are powered through inductive charging, and the first step to getting them (also electrical appliances and hot water) to work again is to locate the generator.
✽ All npcs will be ICly unavailable until we unvoid the school.

[At this point Rika's done her fair share of wandering around, investigating, checking places out. But she also knows that there are others who know much more than she does and that she might be considered as dead weight for certain things, too.
But then she wakes up the next day and feels different -
And if you find yourself in one of the fourth floor bathrooms, you'll see just how different, through the mirror's showing...
...A reflection of Rika, yes; but her expression isn't that of a child at all.
Not with that stern expression of hers, and those bright, glowing, red eyes.
If you don't check her out in the bathroom, though? Well, let's just say boredom causes rot, and she's very interested in seeing the reactions of others. Maybe you're about to turn a corner, or just aren't paying that close attention. Although if you are, she might just purposely bump into you anyway, her head ducked, expression hidden behind her bangs.
But perhaps it's just Rika not paying attention to her surroundings - that might be just it...right?]

tsundereban or Len#9692 (discord)! As per usual, if you want to opt out of any of her content warnings, let me know here, as it's easier for me to find. Wildcard also will give you a chance to play things that don't require a spoiler tag, too.]

With her head in the clouds, she bumps into Rika and as always, smiles her smile. ]
Oops! Sorry about--
[ B.B. hesitates, trying to get a glimpse at her face. Something's off, and she doesn't like it. The typically sweet tone in her voice fades, and she grips onto the handle of her basket tightly. ]
What's the matter? You sleepwalking or something?
no subject
Hee hee... certainly, it would be better if this was some sort of dream, wouldn't it?
[Her voice edges on dark before she raises her head, revealing the dark red eyes that clearly contrast her normal eye color.]
no subject
To Bonnie, her first instinct is that something corrupted this girl. It might've been a side effect from the void or, more likely, she's been possessed by an evil spirit. Which is a shame, because she's no exorcist.
It'd be a shame for Rika, anyway. ]
N...Now now, Rika. If this were some dream, I'd be at home with my puppy! Although, if you're dreaming, it's better if you wake up. Now.
[ Too small for a missile, but she could probably still get her with her basket if need be. ]

Seriously? Try watching where you're going, it helps.
[ Ranger has neither fondness nor a soft spot for children, or at least no more than he does adults. ]
no subject
I wonder... does it really, truly help to actually see? Hee hee.
no subject
Yep, usually does. Well, even if you can't see, you oughta be able to hear.
[ He's assuming she's getting at something different, though, and so he'll wait and see. ]
no subject
'Usually', anyway. But sometimes sight can fail someone.
no subject
Yikes! That's seriously creepy, you know.
[ Said in a high, dramatic tone of voice. ]
Your sight failing you now? Your eyes are looking pretty bloodshot there.
no subject
[She doesn't seem to be disappointed; in fact, it's the opposite--she's more or less amused.]
And no, my sight is quite perfectly fine.
no subject
[ Maybe some that expired years ago, but he doubts that anyone would want to use those. ]
So, what's up with your eyes? Are they just like that?
[ Magic or something similar, he supposes. There's enough freaks around here, himself included. ]

I'm doing fine. You need not to concern yourself with me.
[The dark red eyes of a witch are still there, however. And so is the low, tired voice of someone older than how she looks.]
What about yourself?
[Speaking strangely casually in spite of the tone it takes; it's almost uncanny.]
no subject
i'm okay.
did something happen?
( which is a vague way to ask 'you didn't break something and get possessed by a fragment of soul, right?' but alas, there's no polite way to ask that. )
no subject
[Just stating it simply, even though it's clearly not the truth given how she looks and sounds right now.]

Ah- Furude, I'm really sorry... [He kneels down so they can be a little closer to eye level, chest swimming with guilt. Being caught up in his thoughts isn't an excuse to be careless with others, especially not Rika.] You aren't hurt, are you?
no subject
I'm quite fine. Although I should probably thank you for being concerned.
no subject
Furude... Your eyes are...
[Different. Changed. Not the eyes that he's come to know that earnestly wished for her friends and crossed it out.
It sends a chill through him.]
What happened to you?
no subject
[She laughs coldly, almost amused by the reaction he seems to make as her grin widens sharply.]
I wonder... what do you think happened to me?
no subject
That... guide that Sakasaki wrote a while ago for newcomers... It seemed to suggest that people who were possessed had the color of their eyes change. The color was supposed to be gold, but...
[Should he assume the best just because the color is red and not gold? That seems foolish, but...]
...You're acting differently, but you haven't attacked me, either. I don't know what to think.
[He says it because it's the truth.]
no subject
Nevertheless, she ends up beaming with her eyes closed for a moment, dropping the lower voice and returning to something that could almost be read as normal.]
Did you want me to act like this instead, sir? Ahahaha.
[And while her words are light and airy, the way she laughs is more ominous than not. But then there's the shift again, as Rika turns on her heel, her voice going back to its low timbres. But there's something about it... while dark, that's also just. Tired.]
I'd dare not attack anyone like this, anyway. After all, what can the body of a mere child do, anyway? You're more likely to win in a fight against me than not.
